We're on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ready to help our customers across the network.
We post updates about:
- service disruptions, including temporary and permanent changes to services
- special event travel, such as for football matches, the Ekka, concerts, expos and other community events
- ticketing, fares and go card
- project updates
- new services
- current competitions and offers.
We're also on Instagram sharing images from across the network taken by our customers.
We encourage customers to engage in discussion and share their public transport experiences with us.
We use hashtags on X (formerly Twitter) for bus, train, ferry and tram service notifications to make it easier for customers to find relevant information before they travel or during their journey.
All network notifications on X will include the hashtag #TLAlert. Secondary hashtags by mode provide specific network information:
| Mode | Hashtag | More information and special hashtags |
|---|---|---|
| General | #TLAlert | Service alerts for SEQ network |
| Bus | #TL600s (example) | Notifications for bus services 600 to 699 Spring Hill Loop: #TL30s CityLoop: #TL40s & #TL50s CityGlider: #TL60s Night services: #TLNs CityCat, CityHopper: #TLFerry |
| Train | #TLIpswichline (example) | Notifications for train lines travelling to and from Ipswich |
| Ferry | #TLFerry | Notifications for all water based services |
| Tram | #Glink | Notifications for tram services |
- Trains: Hashtags for train lines are in line with current naming conventions on the website and station displays.
For example #TLIpswichline is used for tweets containing information for trains travelling from the city to Ipswich and from Ipswich to the city. - Buses: To make it as easy as possible we have clustered bus routes in series.
For example, to find information for the bus routes P331, 333 and 334, the hashtag #TL300s will provide any available information for those routes.
Customers using the P231 (P stands for prepaid) will find specific notifications with #TL200s.
All notifications for night services, that have the prefix N, are accessible with #TLNs.
We read all comments, messages and tweets, but may not be able to reply to everything we receive.
